^il^^^iSJ I ARDINAL JOHN HENRY NEWMAN was 

^ iKiSS^ educated as a Calvinist and ordained in the 
English Church when twenty-three; but six 
years after, in 1830, he broke with Evangeli- 
cism, and resigned his vicarship of St, Mary's. 
Three years later, on a trip up the Mediterranean with his 
father and Froude, he wrote the smaller poems published 
in the " Lyra Apostolica." Deeply religious, " his soul was 
at that time passing through remarkable experiences," and 
" Lead, Kindly Light," was written when recovering from a 
severe attack of fever and while becalmed in the Straits 
of Bonifacio on an orange boat bound for Marseilles. 
Twelve years later, in 1845, he joined the Roman Catholic 
Church, and in 1879 was created a Cardinal. He died in 
1890.
